Making a Modified Boxy Clear Vinyl Bag

[@paulanelson4759]

I almost didn’t watch this because I thought it would be to complicated, but you made it look so easy. I love that you did not show the actual sewing!!

Thank you!

[@allirose16]

Great directions! Thank you!

[@kdillhandmade]

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@sherylcaron8215]

thank you really cute

[@priscillajones9978]

Same problem with volume. Put it on CC and that helped to follow along on what you was doing. Loved the vinyl and bag💕

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you. I’m sorry about the volume issue. I’m not sure why that would happen. CC is a great idea though to get through it.

[@allirose16]

Thanks!

[@kdillhandmade]

You're welcome! And thank you so much!

[@imyourgirl8993]

❤❤❤ beautiful

[@cindymcpeck5694]

What did you use for the zipper strips? Is it just jelly vinyl trimmed down?

[@lanafultz4988]

I made the clear vinyl bag. I really love it! Could I possibly make a little larger one?

[@Cindy-sb5dv]

Enjoyed the tutorial. Very well presented and easy to follow. May I ask what machine you used to sew the bag on?

[@tinastarling9622]

Do you mind disclosing where you got the clear vinyl ? It is absolutely ADORABLE !!

[@terribushnell1145]

Could you do a tutorial for the Noodle head 241 tote. I love making them and the instructions are clear but there could be a tutorial that explains how to topstitch - it's tricky for newbies - Thanks for the tutorial well done and appreciate it!

[@kathleenfillingim8300]

PS I had no issues with the volume.

[@kimnordling58]

Love the video and your bag is adorable! Question. I can't really tell. Did you use a #5 zipper or #3? Or does it even matter? Thanks!

[@kdillhandmade]

Thanks!! I used a #5 zipper.

[@margaretbachmeier5299]

What Size did you punch the holes for the Rivets. Thank You. I’m new to using the Rivets.

[@brianchristie6752]

Great tutorial. What material are the zipper strips ?

[@kdillhandmade]

Thanks! They are jelly vinyl.

[@ufoquilter86]

What are you using for the zipper covers? Great bag btw

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you. It’s jelly vinyl.

[@ellenparker7367]

Can someone share what the approximate final dimensions are of this bag? Thank you.

[@dayshatrujillo105]

Is this the Babi boxy bag by oklroots?

[@elainen2636]

I could hardly hear you...don't know where your microphone is located. Put Closed Captioning on so that helped. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@carolskehan1049]

Great tutorial. Inforymy machine won’t stitch right on the clear vinyl

[@kdillhandmade]

I suggest turning your tension all the way up and then backing down slowly until you find the “sweet spot”. Sewing with clear vinyl can be a bit tricky. But it’s usually the tension that is the issue.

[@elizabethmika5090]

Love this pattern. I am at the point sewing front to back and the bobbin thread is suddenly loopy. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? THANK YOU 😊

[@kdillhandmade]

Hi, I had that issue before and tightened my top thread tension and it fixed it.

[@margaretbachmeier5299]

Please can you tell me what kind and Size of Thread you use. Thank You. I love your Bag.

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you! And sure! I used Tex 45 thread from Siah Swag.

[@terrytucker9474]

Hello I watched your video boxy bag and I was wondering what your zipper covers are made of .

[@kdillhandmade]

They are jelly vinyl.

[@patschwartz5512]

I’m having trouble with the bobbin thread bunching up on the bottom. I can sew 16 gauge vinyl with no problem but this printed vinyl doesn’t seem to work. Any thoughts of how to correct. I have a Pfaff craft sewing machine.

[@kdillhandmade]

Have you tried increasing the tension? Some people have had success with that.

[@deannacollar6543]

Is it a cotton zipper, if not can you use a cotton zipper?

[@kdillhandmade]

I would recommend using fray check on the ends of cotton zippers. Don’t use a lighter, for obvious reasons. :)

[@carolskehan1049]

Zipper covers ??? Where are they from and what’s the fabric?

[@kdillhandmade]

Hi! It’s jelly vinyl.

[@mrspfarm]

What are the dimensions of the finished bag please?

[@kdillhandmade]

Finished measurements are about 6”h x 8”w with a 2.5” base.

[@sandim3567]

Love the replay can you share what material you used for the zipper cover strap/ tab

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you! I used jelly vinyl for those parts.

[@debiradcliff784]

I have my volume turned up to 100 and can barely hear this... My video volume is also at full volume. Why can I barely hear you?

[@kdillhandmade]

Hi, I’m not sure why? I have my volume up to just over half and can hear it easily.

[@carrie118]

No volume.

[@kdillhandmade]

@@carrie118 have you checked all of your volume settings? Sometimes the speaker button is on mute on the actual video. I’ve checked the video on all of my devices and the sound is good.

[@mrspfarm]

I don't have any trouble with the volume.

[@stephaniepayne6566]

I watched this on my phone and had no problem adjusting the volume.
